Marching Band Info

Our Marching Band season is fast approaching.  There are still many more questions than answers regarding the summer and fall, and I have been delaying sending any information home with the hope that there would be some clarity to offer.


At this point, we are in preparation for the possibility of proceeding as normal with our
Calendar. Band Camp for this season will be held at CHS as Lincoln Lake has closed
for the summer.


You can expect many updates and we ask for your continued understanding and
patience as many decisions are being made are outside of the Band Programs control.
We will follow all guidance provided by the State of Michigan in ultimately making
decisions regarding this season. We understand there are many health and financial
concerns as we think about the future.  These, plus others, are on our minds as we
work with many partners in our decision making process.  


TO DO:
-CALENDAR - Click here to Look at the Calendar starting with Pre-Camp and
Band Camp in July.  Timeframes during each day are still being decided, but save
the dates. (note: if it asks for a school code to view it is “caledoniaband”


-CONFIRM YOUR PARTICIPATION - Click Here and fill out this form to confirm
your participation and so we have your basic information 


-READ HANDBOOK - Click Here. Please note: much of this information is in
the process of changing.  We are currently updating daily camp schedules/timeframes/
payment information, etc.  Consider this a reference for a normal year....an updated
version will be sent soon.


-LOOK FOR updated handbooks and medical forms for the season in your email
in the next few weeks.


PAYMENTS: 
We are in the process of reworking the payment amounts and schedules.  We
understand that we are dealing with many hardships right now.  We will be flexible,
understanding, and patient as we work with each family to make sure that finances
do not stand in the way of participation. Our usual fee of $315 is being re-evaluated
and new payment information will be coming out soon.  Knowing the hardship in our
community right now expect a much lower fee and much flexibility from us. Please
email Cindy VanNoord at crvannoord@charter.net with any questions regarding payments
once more information is sent.


FINALLY:  
Despite all of the uncertainty we remain committed to providing your students with
great musical experiences, and will do that no matter what this season ends up looking like. 


Thank you for your continued flexibility, patience and understanding.
